Who We Are

An Associate is a person who shares in the Sisters of Bon Secours’ vision, mission, and spirituality and has bonds with the congregation without being called to vows.

An Associate can be a woman or man, Catholic or of other faith traditions, layperson or clergy.

Associates meet locally at least once monthly, often with the Sisters, for prayer, faith-sharing and mutual support.

Their Commitment (not vow) is for a period of two years, which can be renewed. After three two-year renewals, an Associate is invited to make a Life-time Commitment. Along with gathering with their local group, this commitment is carried out in the context of family, workplace, neighborhood, local church and the wider world.

QUOTE

“Divine providence watches over us and will never abandon us; let us cast our cares and worries into Its hands. It is only right that communities should have some crosses; this is a sign that they are agreeable to the Lord. God has His plans and we should revere them no matter how mysterious they may seem to us and we should not lose the fruit of all the sacrifices imposed on us. Like our dear Mother in heaven, let us love the Lord’s plans and believe that in eternity we will regain what man’s injustice will have deprived us of here below.”

We are called by God and sent by the Church to reproduce in ourselves: Christ healing... Christ consoling... Christ always aware of the needs of others.
